2026-27 Penn State Nittany Lions

Kind of scratching my head over why Jeff Kampersal went to the transfer portal for forwards, and grabbed Alanna Devlin from BC over Julia Schalin from Mercyhurst. They both have two years left, and Schalin was way ahead on the stats chart.
 
Here is my take Kampersal and his staff have tried to go after every single Mercyhurst transfer and every other notable name in the portal since he came to Penn State. I also think the Mercyhurst girls don't want to go to Penn State out of loyalty to Mercyhurst. That would explain the one player from Mercyhurst whom ended up at UNH of all places.

Devlin is an easy guess, the program is playing the long game with NAHA, keeping that program happy. Meanwhile, Butze is the last player from the BK Selects at PSU which emphasizes PSU working NAHA and Shattuck.

You have to dance with who wants to dance with you.

Yes, I am sure the faithful and the coaches had visions of sugar plums with the two scorers from Mercyhurst in the portal.

Janecke and Roberts are in the mix for the prestigious Ms. Penn State. Congrats to the ladies for even being considered at such a big school.
 
Mercyhurst players.......The PSU experience is probably not for everyone. Huge school that is far away from anywhere and has nothing close by. I also think that a departing player has no allegiance to their former school. When you are leaving, it's all about you and nothing else.
